Regulatory mechanism of novel host-relevant biofilm formation protein in non-Cholera Vibrio species
Grant
Overview
abstract
-
Non-cholera Vibrio species are a significant threat to human health through food poisoning and wound infection facilitated by biofilms that allow the bacteria to physically block antibiotic treatments. This project will probe central components of a highly relevant biofilm regulatory pathway to better understand the mechanisms of key proteins within the system. The resulting information will be critical to the identification of targets for potential therapeutic intervention.
